Social Civics

"Social Civics" by William Bennett Munro and Charles Eugene Ozanne is a textbook from the early 1900s that teaches about civics and the United States government. It looks at how different parts of life, like government, money, society, and global connections, all work together in a democracy. The book tries to show students how they fit into society and government and why it is important to understand what the government does. It begins by explaining that people are naturally social and smart, which is why we have complicated social systems, with the government helping us work together. It also talks about how society grows and changes over time and how our genes and surroundings affect us, ultimately setting up the idea that to understand democracy, we have to understand everything that affects our lives and how society changes.
